… At The Olsens Mansion. The Next Day.Heidi sat on a chair in the mansion's grass field with Isla sitting beside her.She looked through some documents. “Ms. Olsen, the number of signatures you need to put in a day is too many. To lessen your workload, I suggest we find a new CEO now that you are the Group's President.”“It's no biggie, Isla…” Heidi murmured, busying herself with signing the documents.Isla let out a sigh. “Unfortunately, Natalie Olsen doesn't want to take up the position, do you know why, Ms. Olsen?”Heidi didn't know why. Natalie had been acting weird recently. She didn't want to take part in the company's affairs anymore. “Maybe she's more comfortable in her position as the COO,” she responded to Isla's questions, hoping those words would at least put her mind at ease.“Although most of our allies are back, there's still a lot to do, Ms. Olsen…” Isla added in a pessimistic voice. “I fear some of our clients will look down on you.”Like the clients who doubted

“Hey, give it back!” Heidi stood up to snatch back the letter, but Killian held it high far out of her reach. “You're not gonna accept this proposal, are you?”Heidi snickered. “So what? It's none of your business.” Killian smiled and stared at Isla. “What do you say, Sweetie? I'm Lucas Harrison's best friend, do you also think it's none of my business?”“M-Mr. Jonas, please don't include me in this. I respect Ms. Olsen's decisions…” Isla avoided his gaze.Killian narrowed his eyes on her. “What's wrong, are we on bad terms again?”“But we're not on good terms.”“Why don't you call me Killian then?” He touched her shoulder.Isla flinched and sprang to her feet. “Please excuse me, Ms. Olsen… I- I need to take care of something.”She hurried away, looking disoriented. But instead of heading to the gates, she rushed inside the house. “Hey, why's she acting like that?” Killian frowned. “And what are you up to, Killian?” Heidi gave him a pointed look, dropping both hands on her waist. “
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 398. From Mr. Harrison
Jason?It had been so long since Heidi heard that name. Urgh! That crazy guy who had been so hellbent on marrying her. “You know the kind of a person he is.”“But I heard someone framed him.” Grandpa stared at her knowingly. “Didn't you spike his drink to stop your engagement?”Heidi had done questionable things to her suitors in the past all because she only desired to be with one man.Now thinking about it, she felt bad for those men. Strangely, she didn't regret any of her actions. “Uhm, Grandpa, it's all in the past now…” Heidi looked down. “And the past should be forgotten…” Grandpa Jeffery backed up her statement. “So you should have a fresh start. His father just sent me a message, Jason will be here by tomorrow evening. We'll have dinner together.”Coming to Grandpa's room was a bad idea. If Heidi knew she was going to be fed this information, she'd rather remain oblivious.“Heidi Olsen, do you have any objections?” Grandpa Jeffery used a tone that dared her to disagree.
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 399. An Invitation
A letter from Lucas?Heidi didn't know what to feel at first, the emotion in her heart a mix of shock and anger. But then, she recalled that she'd blocked the man's contact. What's with the bouquet though?The maid walked away and Heidi paused before opening the envelope. Was she even supposed to read it?She wanted nothing to do with him, what's the use in reading his letter?But then, her curiosity got the best of her. She peeled off the envelope, revealing the white paper inside. An invitation to Grandpa Winston's burial, accompanied by a letter.Wasn't it too coincidental that Lucas's letter arrived at the same time Heidi saw it on the news? Almost thinking he wasn't going to allow her to be there because of his so-called guarding of her emotions, she was quite surprised.Sighing, Heidi went through the letter. [Hey, it's been long, isn't it?]Well, that wasn't the opening line Heidi looked forward to seeing. [You've become the AG Group's President, I'm proud of you.]A stran

…What better way to worsen the mood than by adding a touch of a downpour?As Lucas stood at the entrance of the large canopy that occupied the space of the mansion, gloom weighed heavily on his heart. Despite the heavy rain, almost all the inhabitants of Phoenix City showed up. His eyes scanned the crowd, peering at the faces hidden underneath the shades of the umbrellas.Struggling to find that familiar face, his impatience grew slowly and uncertainty clung to his heart.Heidi would never turn down an invitation to Grandpa's funeral,However, what if she didn't show up?Eyes fixed on the large gates of the cemetery, he didn't move from his spot, anticipating her entrance.“Young Master, almost all the guests are here,” the bodyguard holding his umbrella said to him. “It's time for the ceremony.”Someone was crying loudly in the background; the sound irritated Lucas. If only Stella and Blake had lived up to their promises of not showing up. But then, when they heard that the media
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 401. Contemplating His Decision
One moment, Lucas was standing at the entrance, under the umbrella,And the next moment, he was out in the rain striding towards the large gates. As if sensing his presence, she looked away from the Old Man and faced him, a complicated look flashing in her eyes. “Lucas-”“Heidi, you're here.” Disregarding everyone else and all the watchful gazes, Lucas wanted to hug her, but a deep voice halted him-“Don't even think about it!”He looked at the Old Man, now recognizing him as Heidi's grandfather. Lucas collected himself. “My apologies, Grandpa…” He apologized and then greeted the Old Man and Heidi's parents. The couple answered him in a not so enthusiastic voice. Her father looked mad, in fact.And the man's anger must be directed towards Lucas because he looked as if he'd been forced to come.Lucas escorted them towards the large canopy, snatching Heidi's umbrella from the bodyguard walking beside her and holding it for her instead.“I almost lost hope you'd come,” He held her ha

…At Phoenix City's First Hospital.Waking up on the hospital bed was the last thing Heidi expected. Things happened so fast that she couldn't believe it happened.How did she end up fainting?She'd prepared the speech and everything was perfect,But then, her emotions overpowered her… Even so, she shouldn't have fainted. “Oh my gosh! Thank goodness you're finally up,” her mother's voice exclaimed in the background. “How do you feel now, Heidi?” Came her father's voice. She could feel him holding her hand.Glancing sideways at the couple, Heidi's eyes accessed the other corners of the ward without knowing what exactly she was looking for. “Mum, Dad…” She sat up with the help of her parents. “The funeral… where's Grandpa?”“The funeral has long ended…” Regina replied. “See, the sun has gone down.” She walked to the window and pulled the curtains apart. The funeral had ended. No way…Heidi's heart dropped to her stomach. Her hand wandered to her chest, feeling the slight ache in it
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 403. Prove His Oath
The same look of confusion on her parents' faces as they left the ward was cascaded over Lucas's face as well.Thank goodness they didn't refuse her request or ask her questions because Heidi couldn't provide any answers. She didn't know what she was doing. “What's it that you want to speak about, Heidi…” Lucas sat beside her, his confusion replaced by the joy that glinted in his eyes. “I'm listening.”Heidi looked down, searching inside her heart for the anger and hate she'd been feeling for the past few days. Why was it that she couldn't feel any of them?What was with the slight feeling of remorse and heartache?She dared to stare into his eyes and she regretted it instantly. Heidi averted her gaze from his once more. “Time is running…” Lucas urged her on. “One minute will be up soon.”And once the minute was over, her parents might come barging in to send him out. “Did you give the speech?”Lucas nodded, his eyes filled with regret. “I shouldn't have asked you to do it. I'm so
